Question
Answer
urinary system   primarily kidneys;although skin, liver, lungs & intestines eliminate some waste products  
🗑
functions of urinary system (6)   excretion 2. regulation of blood volume & pressure 3. regulation of concentration of solutes in the blood 4. regulation of pH of extracellular fluid 5. regulation of red blood cell synthesis 6. vitamin D synthesis  
🗑
excretion   kidneys filter blood & then excrete urine  
🗑
regulation of blood volume & pressure   kidneys controll extracellular fluid volume in the body by producing weak or concentrated urine  
🗑
regulation of concentration of solutes in the blood   kidneys help regulate concentration of major ions such as Na+, CL-, K+, Ca2+, HCO-3 & HPO4-2  
🗑
regulation of pH of extracellular fluid   kidneys secrete variable amounts of H+ to help regulate the extracellular fluid pH  
🗑
regulation of red blood cell synthesis   kidneys secrete a hormone, erythropoietin, which regulates the synthesis of red blood cells in bone marrow  
🗑
Vitamin D synthesis   kidneys control level of Ca2+ by regulating the synthesis of Vitamin D  
🗑
renal capsule   layer of fibrous connective tissue, surrounds each kidney  
🗑
perirenal fat   a dense layer of adipose tissue, engulfs the renal capsule  
🗑
see word document   jjj  
🗑
capsule pressure   Bowman's capsule - fills with fluid - has a pressure of 10 mm Hg  
🗑
blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure (BCOP)   Plasma proteins do NOT go into the lumina of Bowman's capsule; they stay in the blood and produce an osmotic force of 30 mm Hg  
🗑
glomerular nephritis   if proteins do get into the lumen of Bowman's capsule, the osmotic pressure increases; causing nephritis - greater pressure  
🗑
